Breedlove Artista Concert Cutaway Suede Burst

Breedlove Artista Concert Cutaway Suede Burst.  This is an example of how higher quality woods make a better guitar.  All of the Breedlove models impress with excellent and consistent build quality.  This model takes that quality up a few notches with even better tone woods.  The tone is rich and silky, it has nice, even response top to bottom and good sustain.  The neck should be very stable as it is a thicker "D" shape, baseball bat feel like Ernie Ball, but small and comfortable.  The Breedlove pickup system sounds better than other competitors, they have paid much attention to detail in their builds.  This unit is a b-stock instrument, it may have had some repairs but is in near new condition.  It has some flaws beneath the finish, some wood grain flaws that are natural on the edge of the butt, that makes this a b-stock.  It is stamped "used" on the back of the headstock at the factory to prevent false warranty claims, as it is sold as used.  Add an NGW gigbag for $29.99 or a hardshell for $89, no extra shipping.
